  1. Production of the plants

  2. Decomposition of the plants and animals

  3. Breakdown of the forests

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Decomposers are saprotrophs, which decompose the organic remains of plants and animals by secreting extracellular digestive enzymes. Due to degradation of organic remains, decomposers are also called reducers. Heterotrophic bacteria and saprophytic fungi are the important organisms which usually act as decomposers. Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Which organism will be affected in the absence of the decomposers?

evs forests: our lifeline food material and source sources of food and food habits of animals seed dispersal

  1. Plants

  2. Animals

  3. Insects

  4. All of these

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Decomposers are the organisms that play a critical role by breaking down and decomposing the body and release the element back to nature for other organisms. Thus they help in recycling the nutrients in the atmosphere. They also act as the cleaning agent of the environment because without them dead organisms will pile up. Thus in their absence all the organisms i.e., plants, animals, and insects will be affected. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
